Ah yes, the ol’, if you want a relationship, do her homework argument.
I mean, the comment I’m replying to is so grossly wrong. For starters the point of admitting the rich students is not because they provide enrichment or connections to others, they absolutely do not do that. The point is to gather donations from their parents, whose money will benefit the normal students. This belief that you “just” have to meet the son or daughter of some important businessman or celebrity to make it in life is so ridiculous, it’s like suggesting that you do their homework to earn… what exactly?
